IMPROVEMENT IN FENCE.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

1'0 all whom it may concern Be itknown that I, J oHN WESLEY CHERRY, ofCarthage, Hancock county, Illinois, have made a new and usefulImprovement in Fences; which I declare to be made and used substantiallyas shown and set forth herein, and in the accompanying drawing, in whichare letters of reference corresponding with those used herein- Figure 1being an end riew or elevation of theend of a section of my fence as inuse, and.

Figure 2, a side view of one of the panels.

The object' of my invention is to construct a good and simple portablefence for general use.

A, B, G, and D are four,'more or less, boards nailed into a panel offence, by means of the cross-bars E, F, and G, as shown.

Several of these separate panels are used to make the fence. They areplaced end to end in a straight line with the ends of the boards whichproject beyond the cross-bars, lapping onto each other;

The fence is upheld bya triangular frame at the end of each panel, :isshown in ligure 1.

This frame Vis formed of upright parts H I, crossed at the top andspreading at the base, to form a braced frame.

lThese parts are connected by'two or three crossparts, K L.

These cross parts have notches, as M and N, so arranged that the boardsof the panels will fit their edges therein to prevent side movement, andalso upand-down movement. l

The top'board, A', may either be hung in the fork of the cross H I ontop, to support the fence, and may he thus arranged to serve asahigh-fence forlarge stock, and it may likewise be arranged topass underthe'cross and rest on the board K, to make a tight low fence for smallstock.

I can use a form as follows:

, Usnly' the cross part L, and have the top joini of' H I held by aremovable bolt,whicl1 may be chan geo to the lower holes P P', so as tospread the frame'ant' lower it, so as to let the fence down for a tightlon fence, instead of the form above set forth.

W'hat I claim is- The portable fence, made of separate panels, belt atthe ends by the triangular frame H I, having thx cross parts K, L, withnotches M N, and fork abov( the cross of H- and I, all substantially asspecified.
